DOES FRUIT- RAISING PAY?

Is it any longer a mo'iteci lueatiou whether ar not fruit-raining in a paying industry in our country ? " They have eves, but they see net,*' was written a louk tiiTin ago of peoples to»' stupid to discern fact from Ggrnour. 13nt a few years ago a (jnnrtot of brothers of the surname Brink settled near Win! era, and plantud orchards. It is a well-know fact that they are now among California's largest shippers of fruit, and that they hare 'rapidly built themselves up from poverty tn aifluenfie. Recently they •urcbused o'JO acres of splendid land on Ptitah Creek, cv the Yolo side, six miles west of Davisville. Of this they will plant this season 200 acres to orchard, and a3 rapidly as they can acquire .1 perfect knowledge of tho quality of the lavu t :ind the fruits best adapted to it, they will plant the entire (M 0 acres to trees. Fruit-raising pays if you understand the business, and this may bn tho qualification attachable to every oilier vocitum. Gnod business management and (lieci-Ktion, intelligent inquiry, and constant caution, a close study of plant lifo, of soil composition and market fluctuations— these are tho roijuisitts that entnr into the bucccss of tho successful fruit-raiser. We believe iv tho future of California's fruit interests ; we believe it lies in thn bounds of thousands now as poor as tho Brinks wore, to to achieve along tho same lints the position ■where tUey now are. If you want to reach where they stand, simply do as they have done —that ii, if you have the bruiiia and pluck to back you, —San Francisco Climtdcle.
